No let up yet!

Firstly thanks to all those who have entered the magic quiz so far, I hope to be putting up some answers next week, and then I hope to be putting the new quiz up a little after that. It is going to be based on directors, so get those thinking caps ready. All entrants have done brilliant in the quiz, and that is all I am going to say.

I have not posted so much lately as I have in the last month spent the majority of time in Saudi Arabia and have not had an internet connection.
In fact the last site I went to I didn't even have a mobile phone signal! Makes you realise that whatever we did before mobile phones must have been something special, cause now I find it very nearly impossible to manage without one.

Still I had been home a little over 3 hours when my fantastic company phoned and said I was to go away again. This time to the States, which I don't mind at all, especially with the dollar been so low. Ohhhh what to buy.......

Right I am going to get off and book my hire car, but before I do I will leave you with a little question.

Will BOTH Petrelli brothers be in the new series of Heroes???
